zipware link?
@@destindude1978 you can use any type of extraction file doesn’t need to be “Zipware” I use “WinRAR”
Blaine where do I get the cores/bios stuff that u mention in the tut?
@@vinnybruno5118yeah i need that also
were do you download the retroarch
It’s great that you’re still making content for the PS2 Blaine, lots of people will be glad you did this tutorial (I know I am)
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I like that you can run RetroArch on most all devices. But the PS2 is definitely a surprise.
I was literally just thinking about doing this, you’ve helped me jailbreak so many systems, I’ll check this out!
Awesome! I'm so glad to hear the videos have been helpful. :)
I love your videos u keep showing new things for older consoles great work!
Thanks Blaine! Your videos are like gold to us gamers!
@Blaine Locklair Awesome Blaine, I can't wait to try out your game! Gonna throw it into my psp and use my gameboy emulator!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks.
Would be very cool to see a video on how to properly partition a ps2 drive and install requisite software to run backups of ps1 games.
Thanks gonna try this
I might be putting retroarch on my ps2 now, thank you for the great video! Do the games stutter at all since the usb has slower speeds
Excellent video
Your videos are so cosy
I think I'll do this sometime. And I already have RetroArch on my PSVita
Awesome 😎
Tysm!!!!!!
Where did you get the system bios
I was excited to try this but when I got it all set up I had no audio on any game I tried.
Where do i get the system bios files
I heard that retroarch won't work if you have your HDD formatted to the new ExFat method... is that right?
Awesome, just need to dust off and clean my old black brick before test this! XD
I have an admission to make: I had no idea how darn dusty this PS2 actually was until I recorded it for this video. Dust all up in the fan grill area. Looks like I've got a weekender ahead of me! 🤣
@@blainelocklair For real! Hahaha
Hi Blaine!, I got FMCB already install the Hdd, can we install and boot retroarch directly into the HDD and where to put files?
PS2 Master Race 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺❤️❤️
Do you have any idea if RetroArch emulation on PS2 is faster gameplaywise on HDD compared to USB?
Could you do a video on how to transfer PS1 games to the hard drive if you have a game star HDD adapter? That's where I'm stuck
Ah that's the real trick right there. I'm going to give it another shot soon and will report back what I find.
Do you have a list of emulators that work with this retroarch. You mentioned 49 emulators?!
Incredible! Does this allow you to play PS1 games as well? I know PCSX is included in RetroArch, but not sure how well it runs on the PS2. Thanks!
I would just play PS2 games natively on the PS2 console. The rest can be emulated.
For some reason after I saved the settings I made (before opening RetroArch for the first time) it put me back into Free HDBoot and now I can't get back into FreeMcBoot... any idea how to fix this? (I fixed it but I don’t wanna have to reinstall fmcb every time it doesn’t work)
I tried to set up retroarch to the hdd instead of the usb stick and it doesn't show up on the home menu of free mcboot. help!
is it possible to store and run retroarch and roms from the HDD instead of a usb?
Olá!
Sempre que eu tento usar o "save state", o RetroArch trava e preciso reiniciar o console. Tem solução?
Hey I tried using a link from the play ps2 off mx4sio says html error. Anywhere else i can get the file?
Thanks, Blaine. Love your content. How do we put your game into retroarch on android? When I scan the directory from playlists, nothing pops up in gb icon. I can only play it from load content from main menu.
Thanks for your kind words! Are you able to at least access the contents of the .zip file? I know, I know), so don't immediately have access to Android.
@@blainelocklair I can play it when I load it manually. Works great. Great game. Thank you.
@@craigachuff6087 are the roms named in no-intro format? The scanner will only add them to the playlist if named a certain way.
When you power on ps2 what did you click on to access this
very enjoyable but is there a way back up out of the game without doing a hard reset.?
I think by default you can hold start for two seconds to bring up the menu, and it’s configurable
can't get it to work, glitchy teal screen and restart automatically
I set this up today. It worked once and when I tried to play it again, I'm getting a "parent directory not found" message when I try to load content again. Anybody else having this problem?
What will retroarch play “system” wise on ps2?
is possible to copy the retroarch folder in the mc01 128 mb ?
Hi once i have done everything and get to the very end part its saying failed to load content...
Where did you get all the cores?
Do the Roms have to stay in a zip file?
Have you been able to play Sega Saturn games on your PS2?
Did you figure this out? Im losing my mind
@@Tropix_02 I gave up. Very sad… not enough help for novices like myself.
@@Tropix_02 I ended up buying a decent gaming laptop from B&H Photo for around $950, and I now run emulators on there. Emulators are way easier to set up on PC. But playing Saturn on a PS2 sure sounded fun…
My GBA games are really glitchy. I'm using mgba. How can I fix this?
I got games to work, but I have no audio for some reason
any tips?
Where do I get system bios files? You lost me with the Demo folder 😞
Did u find those now ?
Hello, how do i exit or save state retroarch while in the game ?
Can you transfer it to the HDD to play it from there instead of having it on the usb?
and where can it be placed in the hdd folder
You can, you just have to correct the path on FreeMCBoot configurator.
HELP!! How do i get Ps1/ps2 games to work. Also is there an in depth video of specifically what files and such need to be for each emulator to work? Currently the only emulators that are working are ones that came on the formatted memory card i bought and not the ones in the systems folder.
Can you play retroarch via ps2hdmi or it works only via rca?
Alr but where tf do I get the roms from? Could you link all those files that you have nice and tidy with all the games?
Can you make a video on how to add cheat engine using freehdboot on ps2 please. Something like codebreaker
I will certainly look into it. Thanks for your suggestion!
@@blainelocklair thank you for your videos
@@blainelocklair i have it on a freemcboot card but i want to add it to my hdd on my ps2.
How do you save state?
where can i find the roms you transfer
Anyone else experiencing no audio?
Followed the video to T but when I launch a SNES core none of the games have audio...
Same, no audio within Retroarch - Checked to see if retroarch was muted in settings, but not muted. @blainelocklair any guidance or anyone with a fix?
Update - The current version tested today 02/10/2023 via the download link shown in this video & linked in description seems to have audio issues after following the guide & loading games.
As a workaround I tried a stable version from 'Libreto Docs - For Users - Playstation 2 - Stable Version' that can be found by clicking 'Compilation Instructions' instead of the download link shown in this video.
Games work with audio :)
@@gavinlee7053 hey thanks dude! I'm gonna try that out later today.
did all correct but it will not launch from Free mcboot menu. anyhelp please , also how can i quit game and go bk to main menu without keep restarting ps2
Can you still play all your physical copies of ps2 and ps1 games on it after you do it .
This isnt a video about getting freemcboot or freehdboot on your console, this is about getting retroarch on your console when you already have freemcboot or freehdboot "installed" so I don't know why you'd ask this question in regards to a retroarch installation video.
Nothing about the process keeps the ps2 from running games like normal through the drive.
Unless you specifically modded your ps2 in order to circumvent the fact that your laser is dead, but that's unrelated to anything the mod does to your console.
Emulation on ps2 can be choppy..Unless its changed since .
A little. At least it's a option. Some of the lower-spec titles seem to run ok.
PS2 RetroArch is surprisingly competent. I think the SNES emulation through RetroArch is better than SNES Station.
I don't have freemcboot configurator
Went to launch it and only get a black screen. I have no more clues to follow of where it might've gone wrong or what might be making it not work, so I give up
same here, did you worked it out?
How do i get bios files ???
Where to downloaf the roms?
When I try launching it it just sends me back to the ps2 browser
*update I’m able to launch it from the file manager but.. no sound when playing games
Yeah same here
Doesn't work. After saving the settings, it'll just keep crashing and rebooting the console. Does this program need to be moved to the HDD for it to work correctly?
Same, after selecting a game and then core, it will just revert to the standard PS2 MC browser. I tried this with multiple USB drives. This has happened with one other unrelated eft when a subfolder was missing from the eft location, but I believe I have the retroarch stuff intact, still doesn't work. Could be related to my sensitive Version 1 US PS2 system board.
@@gassie62 I gave up, lol. On this program anyway. Tried installing it on 4 different PS2 model numbers with different parts and drives. Same result on all of them. Went back to just playing on the individual emulators instead. 👍
which 49 systems?
I would prefer Retroarch on an original XBox though...only because of Progressive Scan support.
On PS2, most games only support interlacing, or may support Progressive but with a weird buttons combination you have to hold on game boot-up, extremely few games have the Progressive (480p) option in their options menu...
The OG Xbox is a sweet mod console. I have.a Crystal with a 2TB HDD mod. I think that, for those with a PS2 instead, maybe this gives them some flexibility to try something new. Some of the content runs fairly well.
@@blainelocklair I've got two Rocky5 softmodded Xbox's but man I always wanted a crystal! Those are money now.
@@CarsandCats well not really, with all the special edition colors, the Crystal one might be just as much as the black XBox, maybe like 20-30$ more, but not that much. The more expensive, but still common, are the translucent blue and green ones. The translucent blue here is much more scarce because they were only available thru Bell Canada (cos blue is their color) with a specific deal you had to pick. Maybe the Crystal color is harder to come by in different countries, but still a bit common in Canada.
The big problem though, is when you get a translucent case, is finding a console with a shielding that doesn't have rust on it, cos it's gonna show, when the case is black, it barely show, only maybe thru the sides and back vents only, and if you open the console.
@@RaptorZX3 Put naval jelly on the shield and wash off to bare metal. Repaint with heat resistant paint.
@@blainelocklair make a tutorial for og xbox too, there console is very underrated when it comes to its mpdding scene.
🤔....Can we do this on a phone?
Dang I can’t get any sound on mine
i cant get into retroarch for some reason? followed ur steps until u opened retroarch on ps2, it doesnt open for me and just puts me in my card selector
Me too
me too, did you managet to fix it? if so can you share here how?
Emulator neo geo?
I wanna jailbreak my ps2 to use a usb full of ps2 games on my ps2
Hi, can we play PS1 roms on PS2 RetroArch?
Not through RetroArch. But there are absolutely ways to play PS1 games on your PS2. I have a video on the channel for it. th-cam.com/video/CybznfKfpkU/w-d-xo.html
Tem ps2 Retroarch 1.8.4 download
MEGA é Mediafire
49 systems!!!
Why my game are mute?
where is the link for zipware????
Hey Blaine, can I sort my rooms n bios on the internal hdd instead of the usb?
Does this work on the slim 😃 😞
Sure does! All of the Slims except the 9XXXX models.
Can you still play ps2 games ?
Absolutely! :)
I am willing to bet I won't be able to do half of the steps LOL which is why I'm always just buying Chinese systems just plug and play
Any way that you can enjoy your favorite games is perfectly fine. There's no wrong way. Only not playing them at all is... well... uncivilized. 🤣
@@blainelocklair I couldn't agree more.😊
do we need opl?
You need freemcboot
PS2 Retroarch talvez bem elfs
(Saves nada)
Snes 2002 libretro elf talvez
Gpsp libretro elf talvez
(Nada vba next libretro elf)
(Nada snes9x libretro elf)
So you can't emulate PS1 games on a PS2!?
Are RetroAchievements available on PS2?
Been there done that.
Did you get the t-shirt, though? 🤣
@@blainelocklair I did.😂
Tutorial was fine until you to me to open the demo folder. There is no demo folder. You never told me to download a random demo folder or where to get it from. WHERE IS DEMO FOLDER. Losing my mind bruh.
STOP saying "Free Mech-Boot". It is not Mac Donalds.
MC is short for memmory card. It is NOT pronounced as Mech, Mec or Mac.
mad?
@@lurenzz6033 Why would I be mad?
you having fun stealing content?
Would this work with an infinity chip ps2??
As long as you can launch .elf files, I think so.
Blaine show everyone PCSX2 on Xbox series X/S
I like this idea. Thanks for suggesting it! I have a Series S so I'll dig into it.
@@blainelocklair This is the second request we've gotten for this. Should be interesting
